Hi guys,
I’m a complete newcomer in the Windows Mobile world and recently started using Xda Orbit, hence Missing Sync. I mainly synchronize Address book and the Calendar with Mac using Missing Synce 2.5. I see two problems here at the moment, which I cannot understand whether it’s due to Missing Sync or WM5.
1. Any picture, associated with the contacts are not being transferred. But if I transfer a contact from another device to my Orbit over BT, things are just fine.
2. The contacts on the Orbit are always in “last-name, first-name” format (a WM5 stuff - isn't it??). How can I make it like “first-name last-name” style?
Is any one out here running same sort of set up and experiencing the same problem? I want to thank you guys in advance for helping; any information would be very much useful.
Cheers!!!

has anyone sorted how to get the notes field from a calendar entry to sync ?
I'm having a similar problem where my task notes are not sync'ing. I think this is a bug, since it used to sync with my Tmobile SDA, but not with my DASH.
I have the same problem after upgrading to WM6 on my Samsung i600...
Did you solved it in the meantime and help me with it?
Thanks a lot,
Roel
My calendar notes sync fine with my WM6 Dash -- it also worked with WM5 prior to the upgrade. Currently using Vista with Outlook 2007, previously it was working also with XP and Outlook XP.
Do you have the most recent version of Activesync? Could that be related?
Hi Chaznet,
I have Vista and Outlook 2007. Before upgrading my i600 to WM6 it worked fine. I did the ROM-upgrade a week ago, but just found it out yesterday.
I can make notes attached to a task on my device, it will sync and end up in Outlook on my PC. But just adding one letter to it or something will keep the note on the PC side but after syncing it is gone on my smartphone.
I have WMDC 6.0.6783, I also tried WMDC 6.1 but this will end up in an error on WMDC that I have to delete the current sync-connection and make a new one. I tried to reinstall WMDC back and forth between 6.0 and 6.1 and deleting the sync relation on my device so it was blank (no contacts, tasks, agenda at all present on the device). The only thing it remembers is my device name I gave it on my PC, so maybe I have to manually delete that somewhere.
So if you have a sollution or a place to look. It will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Sorry, never had a problem with it so never had to troubleshoot. Maybe you can find a forum somewhere specific to your device -- possibly it's related to a i600 (whatever that is)...

Hi Chaznet,
It's the Samsung i600 similar to the BlackJack but with Wifi. It is on the European market.
thanks for your answer but if someone else has an answer... This will be great.
notes sync fine with me. i am using:
- tmobile dash w/ iu russian wm6 beta rom
- activesync 4.5
- outlook 2003
You should look for a Samsung forum -- might be something to do with that device. I do seem to recall an earlier version of ActiveSync having this issue, but I really don't remember -- glad it's not something I'm having a problem with, sorry to hear you are...

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the place for this question or not ... but I would appreciate some guidance.
I have the Verizon XV6800 running WM6. I have ActiveSync setup. ActiveSync alone does a horrible job of syncing. It left most of my contacts out for whatever reason. So I installed PocketMirror and all my contacts sync no problem. I still have one tiny problem and am clueless about this.
Many of my contacts have notes. These sync from the PC to the phone just fine. But if I edit the notes on the phone, all newlines are removed when it syncs back to the PC. The notes look good on the phone but are now useless on the PC since every line runs together.
So if my contact's notes are
one
two
three
And I add "four" to the list using my phone, after syncing, it will become:
onetwothreefour
on my PC.
This feels like a solveable problem. But I don't have any idea where to look for this. Is it an Office 2003 setting? Is it an ActiveSync registry entry?
When I emailed PocketMirror, they responded and said:
"PocketMirror can synchronize additional contact folders. Are you using additional contact folders?". Why they hell they are asking me that? Who cares if I have extra folders or not. My question is about corrupted notes synchronizations.
I am also open to alternatives to ActiveSync or other solutions. I just want everything to work in both directions. Calendar, contacts, tasks, files, etc.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. If this is the wrong forum for this question, I apologize.
Thanks

Hi Folk,
it is not easy to explain, as I also do NOT know when in happened,
the problem is thas some of my notes are not any more readable in Outlook (I use 2007) but they are in my Polaris, and even after hard reset of Polaris, they can be red properly on my phone but not in Outlook,
In Outlook they also changed the icon, it i now a sort of mic and by clicking on it the VLC is starting :? :? :?
any idea, any solution?
Thanks
Isidar
First of all, I would check your advanced settings in ActiveSync. Some files are converted when they are transferred between a PC and Mobile Device, as you no doubt know. Perhaps you need to alter one of the conversion settings?
As for the icons, this may also be the same problem as above (converting them to the wrong format). Alternatively, check options in your Mobile Outlook. On the last page of options you can choose which icon is used, perhaps this is related?
Let us know how you go.
Hi Jadel,
thank you for your answer, I checked the settings on my sync, every one is left with the same .xxx in Laptop and in device, so that cannot be the problem.
I really did not find the exact .xxx suffix for the NOTES, it is not recongnisable.
Also the Icon it IS depending on the suffix, and the strange thing, is that only some of the notes has changed in Outlook and not all ...
May be I could change the suffix somewhere in the laptop, but I do not know where the notes are stored (I thing they are part of the .pst file of Outlook, and cannot be found on their own)
So I still am without solution, ahhh in the device (Polaris) all notes are displaied fine ...
strange thing ...
Hi to all,
no one any idea ... am I the only one who happened this?
...
tks
Ciao

Might be same problem...
I have HTC HD mini with WM 6.5. Active Sync 4.5 (WinXP SP3) at work and Windows Mobile Device Center (Win7) at home.
After synchronizing Notes, Notes on PDA not readable more. Outlook Item file converting to .pwi file.
Settings on my sync, every one is left with the same .xxx in Laptop and in device.
Hi everyone,
I'm currently using a friend's old imate JasJam, but am getting a HTC Touch Pro within the next week (phone store didn't have any in stock so they ordered one in for me, should be coming Monday or Tuesday). Now, I've been using the jasjam for a while, and so have a lot of stuff on it. My question is, is there an easy way to copy:
- SMS messages (inbox and sent)
- contacts (including Windows Live Messenger contacts that were synced)
- phone call history
From my current phone onto a new one? What app would be best for this, assuming such an app exists? Can ActiveSync achieve this?
Thanks =]
you can sync the first 2 with activesync to outlook
first require a 3th party software though
Try PIMBackup, not sure it does windows live but it certainly does all the rest.
Thanks for the help, I'll be sure to try PIMBackup
By mistake I ahd already posted this in the Blackstone subforum, altough it is a general WM6 topic. Sorry - please answer here.
Hey guys,
I am using Touch HD with a stock ROM with the MS facebook application installed. In this I can see all my facebook friends and also their contact data, which they provide on FB (phone numbers i.e.).
Is there any application to auto-import the facebook contacts to WM6 Outlook, at least the ones that are not there already...
It would be so convenient and make my WM6 contacts complete.
Looking forward to any hints
SkyBook does that for you.
Have a look at this...
http://magnifoca.com/products.html
Thank you for your reply. However, to my understanding this application will only pull profile photos but no other contact information...
Pulling photos to my existing contacts is something i can already do with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.
I am interested in an application which will pull ALL information from FB (including photos, websites, and email) and enhance existing or create new contacts with it.
Yep, I know, and this application does that.
When I've used this before and asked it to sync my contacts, the first one it comes to that is not in my contact list, it asks if I want it to automatically create a contact for me.
I've never done it myself, as I don't want people off facebook in my contact list, but that's what it's for.
Cheers,
John.
skybook is a no go in the HTC snap with 6.5
Tried Skybook (latest, ver.1.4 Build 12281) on my Touch Pro, still cannot login despite following all the instruction. Ideas anyone? Thank you!
After struggling a lot with this application on my Touch HD, I decided to finally remove it. I get the well known and often reported login error.
I wonder:
Is it possible to install it in a vrtual windows mobile device on my PC and import my facebook to that? - THEN export the contacts to a custom location on my PC and import to my real Touch HD?
Ideas how to connect to the internet with the emulated WM6??
Afaik, there are several ways to do it.
Either you use Outlook to sync your contacts on your device, so you use Outsync to sync facebook to outlook, allthough I do not know what it syncs...
Or, you can export your facebook contacts list and add them into Windows Live. And then sync it to your device.
Using HTC Touch Pro I'm having issues too.
Trying to go to skybook.com gives me an error:
msxml3.dll error '80072efd'
A connection with the server could not be established
/includes/adtrack.asp, line 40
Can't login to the program after authorizing the app to pull data from facebook.
apps.facebook.com/snaptoface Doesn't load for me to re-authorize and FB doesn't show I have it as authorized... I'll have to check it out more but seems to me the snap2face/skybook website is having issues.
